Last Friday, my wife and I drove to the Twin Cities to have lunch at "Lucia's Restaurant, Wine Bar, Bakery, and Sidewalk Cafe" - on 31st Street in the Uptown area of Minneapolis, just a block south of Lake and Hennepin.

Good food with a small menu. All organic food I believe. The food was blended well. Great dessert! I had the flour less cake that was amazing! Over all good food. Not sure If ill be back or not. I was impressed but not enough to skip over some of my other mpls favorites.

Love this place and the wine bar. Food is always good & the wine/beer choices are unique. Cozy place to come for dinner or just a wine.

I absolutely love this place. You can count on delicious food with a yummy twist. It's a great spot to meet friends and have a conversation! I love places that you can break bread and have a conversation! Actually hear each other. Highly recommend this spot for dining in or on the sidewalk where you can people watch. B

the food here is good. nothing to write home about but very consistent. i really like the frittatas at brunch. the cafe can be very convenient as well. i think the coffee is subpar and the service can be really inattentive at times.

Have been to Lucia's numerous times. Never disappoints. Fresh, thoughtful, good food and wine. What I wish I would make at home.

The food at Lucia's is not to miss. The service could use some improvements. Being a person who has worked in fine dining for many years, I might have high expectations, but why shouldn't I? I spent my time bending over backwards with a big smile on my face - why don't I get to enjoy that every once in... More

Trendy and expensive tries to meet casual (but not casual) in the guise of a coffee shop, wine bar, bakery, etc... It sometimes succeeds, all depends on the staff, the clientele, and often the time of day / vibe of the day... The food is mostly "okay" however a bit expensive and somewhat limited in its choices. The staff can... More
